MomsDemand Come to find out that the shooter has been arrested multiple times and a repeat felon so it is already illegal for him to have a firearm.

Praying for a safe resolution with nomore injuries - to our police officers.

So sorry, blame the Dems

So six trained good guys with guns got sent to the hospital. I guess that's the end of that NRA argument once and for all.

If an American is killed in another country. America can go to war. If another country shoots down American drone America might go to war. Meanwhile Americans are dying daily in America just because GOP doesn’t want to pass gun control legislation

Lots of ricocheting going on
